In 2014, Christopher Kiggins was frustrated. The infrared sauna industry was flooded with cheap imports, inflated marketing claims, and components that failed within years. As someone who had experienced the benefits firsthand — daily 30-minute sessions that helped him lose 20 pounds, lower blood pressure, and find real stress relief — he knew the technology worked. The products just didn't.
Disappointed by the lack of transparency in the market, Christopher founded SaunaCloud to bridge the gap between medical science and home wellness. The principle was simple: do right by every customer, every time. Build something you'd be proud to put in your own home.
In 2015, he wrote The Definitive Guide to Infrared Saunas — one of the first comprehensive books explaining far-infrared therapy science to a mainstream audience.
